[59] [60] Not really <i>awesome</i> for a top-of-bullpen guy, but good, so that's the kind of change that's explained by regression. (Any relief pitcher who is awesome one year should be expected to be more like Good the next. His Moliness excepted, as in all things.) [58] Logical.

Are they as good as his numbers from last year (66.2 IP, 40 H, 9 R, 8 ER, 1 HR, 35 BB, 100 K, 1.08 ERA, 1.13 WHIP)? Of course not, so yes to regression, but still . . . dude wasn't going to throw like that every year. Even a regressed Hammer is an excellent reliever. I think we were just spoiled last year.

Now, hm, how many innings will Phelps pitch, and who (the hell) will pitch the rest of the freaking innings? Yikes. Is it Phelps + Nova? I assume not, since the rain-out presumably means Nova gets the start in four days. Anyway, one down.

Only I would add "Or other?" My bet is regression, which would be kind of disappointing. [47] I’m wondering exactly the same thing. Only I would add “Or other?”
